Categorical data

Distribution and frequency tables

Definition The distribution of a variable is the collection of possible values the variable can take and how often each value occurs. Definition A frequency table is a summary that shows the distribution of a variable. For categorical variables, we can use the following to understand the distribution of a variable: frequency table, bar chart, Pareto chart, pie chart, mode, median, and contingency table.
